Price does matter!
Budget Expeditions trips are designed for young adventure travellers who want to explore the world on a budget. Instead of including all of your options and excursions in the tour price, we give you the freedom to decide what you would like to do while you’re on tour, so YOU choose how to spend your money along the way!
Friendship, Adventure and Expert Advice
Imagine a holiday that will take you to all the places you've always dreamed of discovering, in the company of people your age, who share your adventurous ambition. You'll be shown the sites by people who have travelled the globe and have expert, first-hand knowledge so you won't have to worry about maps and directions. And all of your accommodation and itineraries are planned, so there's no hassles for you!
Budget Expeditions Styles
The way you travel on a Budget Expeditions tour adds another dimension to your holiday and allows you to experience more of the local customs and culture. As well as helping you to travel on a budget, it’s our goal to show you a side of life you wouldn’t experience if you stayed in a 5 star hotel. Because of this, the transport and accommodation style is different in each of our destinations.
Going Local and Environment
Budget Expeditions believe travel should be a rewarding experience, while still preserving the natural state and beauty of the destinations we visit, and respecting the people who make us so welcome.
